47-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
Front and rear propeller shafts transmit the drive from the transfer box to the axles.
On vehicles from 03 model year fitted with the 4.6l V8 engine and 4HP24 transmission, the front propeller shaft is 15
mm (0.6 in) longer and the rear propeller shaft is 15mm (0.6 in) shorter than those used on vehicles with the 4.0l V8
and Td5 engines. This is to accomodate an increase in length of the 4HP24 transmission.
Front propeller shaft
1Hookes joint
2Grease nipple
3Universal joint
4Gaiter/Sliding spline joint
5Lubrication point
The front propeller shaft consists of a tube with a universal joint and a sliding spline joint at the front end, and a
Hookes joint at the rear end. The universal joint is bolted to the pinion flange of the front axle differential. The Hookes
joint is bolted to the front output shaft of the transfer box.
The Hookes joint is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life. A grease nipple is installed in the universal joint
to lubricate the serviceable, sealed needle bearings of the joint. The sliding spline joint is sealed with a gaiter and
lubricated through a lubrication point on the tube. Because of the proximity of a chassis crossmember to the front
propeller shaft, the lubrication point is normally sealed with a grub screw. During maintenance, the grub screw is
temporarily replaced by a slave grease nipple to lubricate the sliding spline joint.

coupling is bolted to the pinion flange of the rear axle differential.
A grease nipple is installed in the universal joint for lubrication of the serviceable, sealed needle bearings in the joint.
The sliding spline joint is sealed with a gaiter and lubricated through a grease nipple in the tube.

REAR AXLE
51-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The rear axle consists of an axle casing with a differential unit attached to the right of the vehicle centre line. A wheel
hub is installed in each end of the axle casing and connected to the differential unit by a drive shaft.
Axle casing
The axle casing is of welded construction, with brackets on the casing exterior for attachment to the rear suspension.
A differential cover on the rear of the axle casing contains an oil level plug for checking and replenishment of the
differential unit lubricating oil. A magnetic drain plug is installed on the underside of the axle casing.
The interior of the axle casing is ventilated through a breather tube inserted in a red plastic sleeve in the top of the
casing. The open end of the breather tube is located between the chassis and the left rear wheelarch.
Differential unit
The differential unit is of the spiral bevel type, lubricated by splash oil. The unit consists of a differential carrier
attached to a pinion housing. In the pinion housing, the pinion is splined to a pinion flange which is secured with a bolt
and washer. An oil seal prevents leakage past the pinion flange.
Centralising peg
The centralising peg is a press fit in the centre of the pinion flange and provides a positive location for the rear
propellor shaft to ensure it is centralised with the flange.
